lesson 3: Sewing

Nov. 7th 2011
Now we are up to our lesson 3- sewing. Because there are different sewing techniques that are going to be used in different part of the the teddy bears so we started the most common one. I was very surprised    that some of the women already have a good sewing skills. Last time we realized that the village only have one table so we brought a mat this time that we can work on it after. Everyone is very concentrated and it is hard and needs time to learn a new thing, so even though some of they didn't do the sewing perfectly, they put 100% effort to work.

The other important section for today was that we started to teach the children language that can used in the thanks card. We met a problem with working space that we only brought one mat and the children didn't have any other space to learn and draw. We put a big paper on the ground and made is as a mat to work on. Even though the working space was small and uncomfortable, the children were still excited about the drawing class and learned the language. I was very happy to see how we work together and try to create a better tomorrow.
